I'm like... years late to this party. Started watching Breaking Bad last month and devoured all five seasons in the span of about four weeks (and it only actually took that long because I tried to draw out the last season as long as possible because I just didn't want it to end).

So the next step was to order the Blu-ray box set.

It just arrived. /pets it

And it has commentaries on every single episode. My level of excitement is off the charts right now. OFF THE CHARTS.

Oh, yeah, I totally forgot the final season DVD was coming out. Will buy tomorrow, I guess!

Yeah, this is easily the best TV drama I've ever watched. Amazing television, and just keeps getting better. The first half of season five is a really incredible example of just constantly ratcheting up the tension with each episode. It almost got difficult to watch the sustained tension over that long, but thankfully they slowed it down again at just the right point for episode 8.

Brekkie:Tanks are like shitty DPS. And healers are like REALLY distracted DPSAmirya:Why yes, your penis is longer than his because you hit 30k dps in the first 10 seconds. But guess what? That raid boss has a dick bigger than your ego. Flex:I don't make mistakes. I execute carefully planned strategic group wipes.Levie:(in /g) It's weird, I have a collar and I dont know where I got it from, Worgen are kinky!Levie:Drunk Lev goes and does what he pleases just to annoy sober Lev.Sagara:You see, you need to *spread* the bun before you insert the hot dog.

It's about a chemistry teacher who becomes a meth cook in order to pay for cancer treatment... and then it goes much further than that. It's really a character study of the gradual transformation of an average man into a reprehensible villain, driven by his own pride, bitterness and arrogance. Bryan Cranston's acting in the role - most of the acting in the show, in fact - is brilliant (Anthony Hopkins even wrote him a gushing fan letter, calling it "the best acting I have seen—ever").

it is SOOO much more thoughi strongly suggest you and cody watch at least one season, and keep in mind it gets better as you go on

I thought the same. I ignored my boss at work raving about this show for the past year because I thought there was no way I'd be interested.

Good grief was I ever wrong.

And now after the show is already over, I wish I had been part of the madness as it happened live. I like a lot of TV shows, but I haven't been this RABID about a show in what feels like a very, VERY long time.

Well, maybe I'll watch it. Currently working through roommate's Supernatural catch up (just started season 6), and I'm rereading some old books for the hell of it.

No promises from me. (Of course, another part of the time is my mother watching movies that include blowing shit up of all sorts - vehicles, buildings, planes, people - and her laughing hysterically at them all.)

Ugh. I restarted Supernatural myself... only made it to the second season as it was live and then just got bored. This time I made it to the start of Season 6 (or maybe it's 7) and I haven't touched it in about a month although it's all sitting downloaded and ready to watch.

Sam is not my favorite character. At all. He reminds me of Luke Skywalker, and I wanted to take Luke out back and flog him for being a whiny bitch.

No, my current favorites are Castiel and Crowley. Because Misha Collins has a hilarious and expressive face, and Crowley is just such a good bad guy to me.

Now that I've hijacked your thread, I must add that I am very partial to Mark Sheppard at present. I love me a good villain who is neither black nor white.

I sometimes feel like I'm the only person I know that isn't all that crazy about breaking bad.

I watched the first three seasons before the fourth came out.

The acting and cinematography were phenomenal, but the plot really just seemed to drag after awhile. And about 3-4 episodes into season 4, I just couldn't find the motivation to catch each week's episode, so I stopped watching it.

Hard to explain it better without spoiling anything.

I am exactly the same Arnock, I lasted 5 episodes. I know I 'have' to watch it all the way through but it simply didn't grip me in the same way other programes have or indeed how it has gripped other people including most of my friends.

As I said to a friend, it ain't no Deadwood or Sherlock. That is what I measure everything against.

I started watching Sherlock a few weeks ago, THAT is an amazing show.

My husband just watched every BB that was on Netflix (he has to wait for the last few episodes) and I caught quite a few of them. It was hard to get sucked in when I was seeing it all chopped up. I can objesctively see why it's so highly praised but it just didn't do it for me.

When he finished BB he watched a few Malcolm in the Middle episodes. Seeing Bryan Cranston do roller disco was a real mindfuck.

I cannot WAIT for the third season. I saw this still from one of the new episodes and I just think it's so lovely.
